Editorial Reviews

Review

"McCann's recipes are easy to follow."―Library Journal Xpress Review

"A fun new collection of vegan recipes that I will be turning to regularly this fall."―New York Daily, food editor's blog

"The recipes are fun to make as a family and good enough for Mom and Dad to enjoy as well."―Boston Metro

"McCann's book is great for children willing to try new foods, but who might be stuck in a lunchbox rut. As the title implies, the recipes are all vegan, but they still offer plenty of appeal."―Associated Press

"Chock full of uncomplicated recipes for clever noontime fare."―Mothering

"Even if you're not vegan, I would give this cookbook a look. It can be an inspiration."―Colorado Springs Gazette

Great resource for mums

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2008

I was dying to get this book after being a fan of her blog for so long. It's got great menu plans - ones for mornings you have time to cook, ones for a rushed morning and ones for preparation the night before.
It has great recipes, a little too much fake meat and processed food for my taste - but then it's written for everyone, not just me :)
My only criticism (and that's why it lost a star) is the lack of photos. The beauty of the blog was the photo of each lunch, I was expecting this in the book too but there's just a few photos together in the middle of the book - 99% of the recipes and menus don't have photos which is sadly quite common with vegan cookbooks.
But this book is WELL worth the price and will truly be USED in a household with kids. Just give us some photos!

The book is not like the blog...

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2008

Verified Purchase

I just received my copy of Vegan Lunch Box after much anticipation. I was a fan of the blog that inspired the book and for some reason expected the format of the book to be similar, which is what appealed to me. Unfortunately, the entire book is laid out in a new way.

First of all, there are virtually no pictures (save for a special insert in the middle of the book), and none to accompany the recipes. There are very few set "menus" except in sections for special occasions and a few to kick off your thinking. The recipes are divided into apps, salads, soups, sandwiches, main courses, sides, breads, desserts and beverages, which is useful, though there are a few stand-by recipes in here I think she could have skipped for most of us- veggie dogs and baked beans for example, takes up an entire page.

The recipes go perhaps a bit beyond lunch- I won't be making soups or homemade beverages for my child's lunch box- but that's ok, it makes it a bit more versatile as a book for veggie families.

What I found helpful about the original blog was the creativity of how Jennifer, the author, put the meals together in the bento lunchboxes she created. The combinations of food items and what her child choose to eat and appreciated. It's not the recipes I struggle with, it's how to put together an appealing lunch for a vegetarian child (and one that her classmates will envy!).

That said, this is a useful book and a must have for parents to new vegetarians, and does have plenty to offer the veteran as well. I just wish they had followed the format of the blog a little bit more closely. The book does mention that all the original recipes are on the blog archive- but that's why I purchased the book, so I could have that information in a book format.

Followed her blog for years, Glad to have the book!

We are SLOWLY becoming vegetarian. And long ago, Shmoo and this blog gave me hope. I started reading her blog BEFORE I was married, BEFORE I had kids, that's how good her recipes are. Her vegan peanut butter and jelly muffins are a staple in our house, because they're GOOD. They're not "good" for a vegan recipe; they're just plain delicious. And I don't even LIKE peanut butter!

Full of fun, delicious and cool recipes, and nothing too "out there" that a normal kid wouldn't eat.
A great use of money.

the first edition was better

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2009

Verified Purchase

I own both books and I much prefer the first edition (yellow) over this one, the second purple version. The first edition is much better in terms of organization. I find the second edition confusing to follow and highly dislike how the meal plans do not have the recipes immediately with it. The flow in this version is not good and I find it sitting on my shelf unused.
It is very confusing to have meal plans in the front not followed immediately by the recipes. I don't like that I have to keep going back and forth between the meal plans in the front of the book to the recipes in the back to see what is in it. It is very frustrating and I only reach for the first edition now.
that said, the book has a lot of great kid friendly and FAMILY friendly meals in it. I loved that it wasn't your typical vegan/vegetarian cookbook that had a lot of substitutes for meat in it, but instead shows you simple pairings of food to make a meal. We have not had a recipe in here yet that is not well loved.

Great ideas for school lunches!

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2008

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book, because my son will start school this summer, and I had no idea what to pack into his lunch box every day. I want his lunch box to be a fun, colorful, and delicious surprise, and this book will surely help me to do this. The recipes are very healthy and also adventurous. I especially like that there are foods included from all around the world. There are some pictures in the center of the book, but I wish that more of the recipes had pictures included with them. Other than that, a great cookbook for busy vegan moms!

Good Concept

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2010

Verified Purchase

I really like the idea of this book, & all the ideas are fantastic. It's just REALLY annoying flipping back & forth from ideas to recipes. (the front of the book is all the lunch menus & all the recipes are the in the 2nd half of the book) It would have been nice to have it on facing pages or something because I can't tell if I'd like the menu without first going over the recipe. I will make do, it's a great book.

Pretty Good

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

As far as Vegan recipes go, it has a lot of really great suggestions and recipes. There are many that have become staples in our household. However, I felt like a lot of it was more about presentation. I mean, yes kids like to have their sandwiches presented nicely but they'll eat a sunbutter sandwich even if it's not cut into a flower. Giving me a recipe for that felt... like a waste of space. Would have been nice to have more recipes and less lunchbox organization.

Better than expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've been looking at this book for quite a while but had heard various feedback and was unsure about buying it, so when I finally got around to it I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd been struggling with lunch ideas and really needed some help!
In the end I'm really glad I brought this, it is very much aimed at children but most of the ideas and lunch menus are easily transferable. I'd say I'd use about half the ideas in the book which isn't bad going really. Really adds some variety to lunchtimes, is just ashame as an advocate of vegan diets the author no longer seems to be vegan.

Very happy with this book

Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2017

This book is wonderfully put together, so happy I got it! It has fun meal themes for different times of the year and a bunch of recipes I never would have considered to pack as a lunch for my kid. We took them for a practice run before my daughter starts Kindergarten and shes totally devoured most of them! Even has suggestions on meal plans and side notes on things like portion sizes and lunch containers.

Unkompliziert und lecker

Reviewed in Germany on June 10, 2009

Verified Purchase

Man kann sich darüber streiten, ob man als Mutter jeden morgen ein Lunchmenü für sein Kind kochen soll oder nicht. Für die Arbeitenden unter uns sicher keine Option.

Dennoch ist dieses Buch eine tolle Anregung, was man seinem Kind (und sich selbst) für ein gesundes Mittagessen mitgeben, bzw. zuhause kochen kann. Unkomplizierte Suppen, die man am Abend vorkochen und dann am nächsten Morgen aufwärmen kann, gehören dazu, sowie kleine Snacks und Ideen für Sandwiches und das alles natürlich vegan.Man muss sich eben die Gerichte aussuchen, die kein morgendliches Kochen erfordern.

Meine Favoriten bisher sind die Blumenkohl-Karottensuppe und die im Ofen gerösteten Kichererbsen. Lecker und ganz einfach zuzubereiten!

Ich finds prima!
